Mark Wahlberg will join Graham Norton to discuss his new film Broken City (Picture: Rex Features)

TV preview: Mark Wahlberg and Michael Fassbender are the latest guests on Graham Norton’s sofa, while BBC Four pays tribute to classic long-players in When Albums Ruled The World.

The Graham Norton Show BBC1, 10.35pm

He’s made a big impact as a star in such movies as Boogie Nights, The Departed and The Fighter but for some of us, Mark Wahlberg will always be Marky Mark. Chances are, though, that Graham Norton won’t have the front to request a pose in shiny white Calvins – Wahlberg is very serious about his acting and is in Britain to talk about latest film Broken City, a crime thriller co-starring Russell Crowe. Now that must have been a punchy set. There’s more movie talk with Shame star Michael Fassbender, soon to be seen in a live-action take on gaming sensation Assassin’s Creed, plus laughs from Sarah Silverman and music from Laura Mvula.

When Albums Ruled The World BBC4, 9pm

The magic of the long-playing vinyl album is lovingly profiled as we make tracks back to its golden age, from the mid-1960s through the 1970s. Packaged in sleeves that were art in themselves, the LP was a playground for musicians to think outside the grooves and helped shape the soundtrack of a generation, which produced Bob Dylan, The Doors and The Beatles. Noel Gallagher (pictured below) and Mike Oldfield are among those singing the LP’s praises.

Room 101 BBC1, 8.30pm

Glamping is an unlikely TV theme tonight, cast in two very different roles. Over on Great Night Out, it’s a positive holiday option, but here in Frank Skinner’s domain, it’s being proposed for disposal in Room 101 by actor/comedian Jack Whitehall. It’s what bugs him most about the great outdoors, while for The One Show’s Alex Jones, it’s seagulls. But the controversial choice for presenter Clive Anderson is Bambi’s extended family – until meeting special guest Arthur changes his mind.

Stella Sky1, 9pm

Fact hip hops around fiction and back again as Diversity’s Ashley Banjo brings Sky1’s talent show Got To Dance to the streets of Pontyberry. With the carrot of a cash pot big enough to save Big Alan’s rugby club, the show tempts Little Alan to step up and shake his booty. Which is what the grown-ups are doing at their 1980s-themed fancy dress school reunion – a nostalgic trip which revives first-love memories for Stella (Ruth Jones) and Rob.

Great Night Out ITV, 9pm

Instead of one evening going pear-shaped, our Stockport lads have a whole weekend away to mess up in this larky comedy drama. Triggered by Kath’s desire to escape her job, the chaos begins when she and Hodge decide to head off for a glamping trip. But with Beggsy playing gooseberry in his mam’s house as she gets lovey-dovey, the pair might soon have a cuckoo in their romantic camper van. Phil Cornwell and Keith Allen guest star alongside regulars Craig Parkinson and Stephen Walters.

Top Gun E4, 9pm

Testosterone doesn’t come more pumped than this glossy 1986 action classic. A young Tom Cruise is, of course, the star here as a maverick naval aviator called, er, ‘Maverick’, falls for his hot new training instructor (Kelly McGillis) – though you’d perhaps be forgiven for thinking he had a thing for rival student Iceman (Val Kilmer). Visuals are crammed with gleaming hardware, thanks to Top Gun being made with the blessing of the US military, who set up Navy recruitment booths outside cinemas where this was playing. Apparently, sales of Aviator sunglasses subsequently soared by 40 per cent. LI-Z

The Birds ITV, 10.35pm

As Anthony Hopkins tries to capture Hitchcock on the big screen, here’s a proper Hitch fix. The Birds is a chiller that distils many of the themes and ideas Hitchcock explored in his career. No one knows why flocks of birds turn on the people in the California town of Bodega Bay but the feathered menaces seem to represent a welling, primordial rage that takes apart city sophisticate Melanie Daniels – famously, the creatures almost did for actress Tippi Hedren, too.
